Chanel

Skipping over a few decades, Coco Chanel emerged as a fashion designer. Not only was she involved in clothing, but she also reveled her artistic abilities through jewelry, perfumes, and handbags. She was the only fashion designer to turn up on Time Magazine's list of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century. That fact alone speaks a million volumes. She played a big role in freeing women from the limitations of the "corseted silhouette." Following World War I, Chanel gracefully seized the challenge of publicizing the toleration of the sporty-chic style.

Project+Paper...Let's Get Cracking!

I will be making a project in addition to my paper for the Frisch Leads assignment. Now the obvious question is: what project could possibly encompass the history of fashion's capital and the life of Chanel? A scrapbook of course! I plan to fill it with pictures of fashion's most prominent time periods intertwining with Chanel's major contributions to the clothing and accessorizes industries. Throughout the scrapbook, I will put together descriptive captions and chic patterns. As a conclusion, I will add images of today's fashion world and be able to compare it to the various eras throughout the history of female style. Who knew history could be so fun?!

Interblog 1

While reading Oshrat Nachum's blog,  I've found myself eager to read her future posts. Oshrat shared her journey of constructing the perfect theme with her readers, which made her blog all the more realistic. By conveying her thoughts in a methodical manner, she successfully captivated readers to find out how her blog would develop. After deliberating on what her topic should be, Oshrat came to the conclusion that she would focus on the history of Israeli food and movies since the state's formation in 1948. She cleverly named her topic: "Dinner and a Movie: Israeli Style." 

Because I love watching foreign films and eating foods from various cultures, I'm confident that I will truly enjoy reading the rest of Oshrat's posts. Furthermore, I love visiting Israel, so learning new things about its culture will enhance my future trips there. I advise everyone to check out Ms. Nachum's blog in order to appreciate and acquire a knowledge of Israel's societal history.
